Alexander "Alex" Van Pelt (born May 1, 1970) is an American football coach and former quarterback.

Playing career

College

Van Pelt was a star college quarterback at the University of Pittsburgh. When Van Pelt left Pittsburgh, he held school passing records that he had taken from Dan Marino. His single season mark of 3,163 passing yards was broken in 2003 by Rod Rutherford.

1989: 192/347 for 2,881 yards with 17 TD vs 12 INT. Ran for 4 TD.
1990: 201/351 for 2,427 yards with 14 TD vs 17 INT. Ran for 2 TD.
1991: 227/398 for 2,796 yards with 15 TD vs 14 INT. Ran for 1 TD.
1992: 245/407 for 3,163 yards with 20 TD vs 17 INT.

Professional

Van Pelt was an eighth round draft pick of his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers, but failed to make the opening game roster. After spending six months as the Kansas City Chiefs fourth-string quarterback in 1994, he spent the remainder of his career as a Buffalo Bill. Van Pelt was a career backup in the National Football League, where he had career totals of 16 touchdowns and 24 interceptions in 477 pass attempts.

Van Pelt's first NFL win as a starter would come on November 2, 1997, against Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins. In 2001, he started 8 games, going 2-6, and playing well enough to justify a contract extension that would allow the Bills to release failed Doug Flutie successor Rob Johnson. Van Pelt would never start a game after 2001 due to a Bills trade with the New England Patriots for Drew Bledsoe, who became the full-time starting quarterback. Van Pelt remained with the team as Bledsoe's backup for the next two seasons before retiring.

Broadcasting career

After retiring from football in 2004, Van Pelt was John Murphy's partner on Bills Radio Network broadcasts. He did color commentary for the radio broadcast of all Bills games until the 2005 season.

Coaching career

Van Pelt was a volunteer winter quarterbacks coach for the University at Buffalo in 2005.

Van Pelt was the quarterbacks coach for the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe, the NFL's developmental league, in 2005, where he was responsible for all offensive play calling.

Buffalo Bills

On February 13, 2006, Van Pelt was hired to Dick Jauron's coaching staff as Offensive Quality Control Coach for the Buffalo Bills. On January 16, 2008 the Bills promoted him from offensive quality control coach to quarterbacks coach. On September 4, 2009, the Bills promoted Van Pelt to offensive coordinator after Turk Schonert was fired.

On January 4, 2010, Van Pelt, along with the rest of the Bills coaching staff, was fired following a disappointing 6-10 2010 season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Van Pelt was hired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the quarterbacks coach on February 1, 2010. When Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris was fired on January 2, 2012, the whole staff was let go as well.
